80th Infantry Division "La Spezia" (Italian: 80ª Divisione di fanteria "La Spezia") was an infantry division of the Royal Italian Army during World War II.

[1][2] The division's lineage begins with the Brigade "Spezia" raised on 1 March 1915 with the 125th and 126th infantry regiments.

The brigade fought on the Italian front in World War I and together with its regiments was disbanded on 29 November 1917 after having been destroyed in the Battle of Caporetto.

After the operation was canceled the division was flown from 1 October 1942 to Libya, where it deployed to Brega ed El Agheila by early November.

After the Second Battle of El Alamein Axis forces, including the La Spezia, were driven westwards by the victorious British Eighth Army.
